Yesterday was the most unproductive day of the week. But I had a great time with Putri and Mira. We talked for a good 2 hours. Something I haven't been doing with them for quite some time...
Putri and I decided to bake a cake for Mira since it was her 22nd birthday on the 8th Feb and I was not in Singapore on her birthday. A belated celebration, it is.
We have been doing this yearly bake-a-cake kinda thing and trust me, this year was the best we had ever done. The past few years were crazy. The cakes either turned out ugly (if you think this year's cake is ugly, trust me this is the best looking one so far!) or the cake was too sweet you can really die of diabetes once you eat all of it.
You can say, our baking skills got better with time.
It was not easy to bake this, judging from our really amateur baking skills. Luckily for us, Putri's mum was there to help. And this cake looked really ugly at first. Putri's brothers and her dad saw us trying to save this cake and they actually went like, "This is not a cake, it's a burger."
You see, we were trying to do the whole layering with frosting kinda cake. But it turned out... more like a sandwich-fail burger cake. But thank god our cream cheese frosting turned out da bomb. We didn't follow closely the recipe that we found on Internet, but hey our cream cheese frosting can definitely beat those you eat at cafes (confidence level: a million up, real quick) and we made just enough frosting to cover the whole cake thank god.
The three of us talked across so many topics. One topic I really loved is... the fact that now there's Downtown Line.
Before the CNY holidays, Daya and I went for a short jogging session. We initially wanted to just go to the canal but we ended up going for an impromptu long brisk walking session at our favourite place in Singapore.
The lovely skyline and the whole nightlife while you're walking around and sweating it out... best feeling ever.
But the best part is that, it takes less than 30 minutes from Bukit Panjang to Bayfront. And then about another 20 minutes for me to walk all the way back home.
Downtown Line is definitely one of my favourite MRT lines as of now.
A day before the whole CNY holidays, I decided to help D with his shopping session for CNY. He kept talking about Japan, and sigh every part of me misses Japan more than ever. I wish to be there with him this July but I'm just not... that rich.
Oh and he kept saying that my type of men is old Chinese uncle style. It's annoying, but really if GD can pull off those looks, why can't I make guys dress up like that? Guys need to be more daring and experimental like GD.
But then again... I'm not that daring like CL. So I shall just keep my mouth shut.
And for that day, I went back via Downtown Line from Suntec. How convenient!
And here, this was how I spent my CNY holidays. Dad decided that we should go over to Batu Pahat during the CNY holidays because Singapore is usually a ghost town during CNY.
We watched From Vegas to Macau III and damn, it was the most nonsensical movie I've ever watched. But Chow Yun Fat is just hella attractive. Maybe what D said is true, I'm really into old Chinese uncles. Dammit!
But we all know, the one in my heart is still Taeyang.
